If you are a terribly slow typist, (like myself, you know the kind - using just one or two fingers) then you will recognize that creating 1000 to 1500 word posts, or creating large text based pages is going to be a rather long process,


So what is the solution?

Yes Richard I use the voice option on my I-pad on a regular basis.
Just tap on the microphone at the bottom of your screen, wait for the wavy line to commence and then speak. ... you have speak a litle slower than usual and with distinct pronunciation ... You will get the hang of it quite quickly
The commands ... New line .... New paragraph work too.
Good luck with it all
As usual regards David

Forgot to include that you can use the punctuation commands of.... Comma & full stop when also in voice mode.
Leave any correction of text errors until the end as you will need to come out of voice mode to do any erasing and re texting and this will slow down your use of the voice facility.

Hi David;
I'm very excited that you have posted this really valuable voice-typing training here for us!
It's a Godsend to me, because I wear a soft neck brace while working, and 'hands-free' manouevres just hit the spot:)

As a bonus, you communicate so easily; thank you.

I want to say more, but I wonder if you can please see if we can get page 4 of your good lesson? Right now, it says "The requested source has not been published."

I think I could get along without it, but thought I'd better tell ya, nice fella!

Thank you for your kind words and comments
Good of you to point out the page 4 problem ... Very strange.
I am seeing your quote at the top of page four when I access the training from my profile page, although of course I can see all 4 as complete.
Rather a shame page 4 is supposed to have the key info item.
Will try to correct for you by a re-edit and re publish options
If unsuccessful will have to seek expert help
Will update you later via PM

Being blind Dragon is a tool that I have used to for years. but it's not overly expensive at least not the home version and I am an affiliate. $25 I think is the current sale price. My wife is a Health Care Administrator and she rates it 10. Lol I just asked her. The stuff she writes is generally more sophisticated than what most average people do and it serves her needs well.

because I am on my cell phone so much like right now I use the Google tool a lot but it requires a lot more work than Dragon.

I'll have to check my IBM store but I don't think Via Voice is still available.

Glad you have found something that helps you both.
Both Dragon "Naturally Speaking Home 13.0" and Via Voice are available from Amazon now.
Dragon is around £55 and Via Voice is about £50
